00:10

the word ring the bell blank tomorrow at five o'clock sharp and here are our

00:15

potential answers.... all right well none of these ringing any

00:19

bells for you people there well try saying the sentence aloud with each of [Boy reads sentence aloud]

00:23

the options filled into the blank which one rings true, all right we'll lay off the

00:28

ring jokes there.... Alrighty let's check out the answer

00:30

starting with D but guess what we don't even have to fill in the blank here

00:33

that's because rung is in the past tense and as any good a historian time

00:37

traveler or Time Lord knows the past is the exact opposite of the future but

01:19

give it a whirl just in case the bell rings tomorrow at 5 o'clock sharp

01:23

well we end up with a sentence that sounds better than last two but still

01:27

not quite right and another one bites the dust what about A the bell will ring

01:31

tomorrow at 5 o'clock sharp, well, ding ding ding sounds like our answer why

01:36

because will ring is the future tense we've been looking for so we have our [Men walk into police box]

01:40

answer A and look at that we did it without the doctor's help.. We're
